*And sometimes, instead of destroying the dragon, the deeper story is learning to understand it.* Yes...exactly this. Peace.š

This idea is completely foreign to me. My goal has always been to kill it. When I asked ChatGPT how to āride itā the following is what it told me. Iām curious, based on our previous discussions, if you have an alternative method or approach. I am extremely rigid and thatās always been a good thing. My life is pretty black and white and now Iām becoming open to the idea that my style isnāt exactly the best one. I understand these concepts intellectually but I cannot for the life of me āget itā yet. It sounds like acquiescence. When the water overtakes you, let it. All I see is the absence of fight. What replaces the violence? You used to be a boxer so you know violence. How did you get over the desire to conquer everything but yourself? Of dragons, it says: Notice something important: They are usually long and flowing, not rigid. They twist like: \* rivers \* wind \* lightning \* energy currents **How to Ride a Dragon**

For what it is worth...the above is pretty good. They are using good 'analogy'...but since no one alive knows anything about dragons, we have to use the language of metaphysics to keep the analogy 'alive'. *All I see is the absence of fight. What replaces the violence? You used to be a boxer so you know violence.*Ā **Violence and Timing** **The Sounds of Vondel** *"These things take violence and timing...I can do both."Ā Ā at about 1:50 sec... that line* I use this as my slogan for Golf - Violence and Timing...we can do both. Learning to know your inner dragons....they will teach you how to ride them....how to master violence with exquisite timing and precision.Ā Poetry in motion...literally.  If you are open to dragons being 'real' but tiny, then you could just imagine tiny dragons living inside you.....and your job is to learn to love them and take good care of them. They love you more than anything you could ever yet know...so when you learn to love your inner dragons, you will experience the love of eternal/internal bliss. And here we are. Peaceš
